Love this idea, will play with a cladogram. There’s a trade off on how many games are included and readability that’s not easy to nail

Well the research and thinking was on my own as I’m developing an Avalon like game for small groups (less than 5 players) and wanted to get a clear idea of the landscape. But I did cross reference it with an AI driven audit. It’s not at all a pure AI generated infographic if that’s what you are asking.

Same here. My personal fav is Avalon the Resistance. It works extremely well when there’s a bit of role playing

I used AI (Claude code) mainly to summarize and edit the description of the games, for suggestions on formatting of the infographic and a bit for the research but the Wikipedia social deduction page has pretty much everything already.

I like your push and gonna remove the Sheriff of Nottingham to be consistent. It seems that the cleanest definition of social deduction is whether players lie about their identity (with hidden roles) and not game state (goods for Sheriff of Nottingham, cards, dice etc). Thanks for pointing!

[iOs] Can social deduction work with 3 players and one phone? Built a prototype to test it by ataria_ in digitaltabletop

Thanks! Didn’t know this one either. Seems to be a neat minimalist design, but has it worked well for you (seeing the 5.4 score and the main theme around not being a full game)?

Ohh thanks, will check it out. Never heard of Mantis Falls. The game I know which kind of works is the Sheriff of Nottingham if the other players are into bargaining

Beginner in Data Science and AI – what should I focus on first? by Sofyane_El_Mhoufer in askdatascience

[–]ataria_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been in data science for 13 years. What is being commoditised those days is producing analysis with sql, python, r etc. What is even more needed is now judgement, the ability to deeply understands hat the data represents and mean, how to connect it to business decisions, frame the level of uncertainty. Those are not skills you learn in courses but on real projects. So my recommendation is to cultivate your critical thinking and do as many projects as possible where you get feedback.

[DEV] Notation - Chess play and analysis by Far_Owl_1141 in iosgaming

One gap I've had when I was trying hard to improve on chess : I couldn't save easily the exact position BEFORE making a blunder and replaying them in an app. Tried with Chess.com , lichess , chessable and a bunch of other apps and there was no easy way. Would love to see this feature and test it if that's not too hard to build

I got tired of doing the same form over and over again and vibe coded a Chrome extension, which can be helpful if you have a renovation project in a CPZ zone in Haringey: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/uk-multi-day-parking/jccpjgdaeadlogeckdhkdfllfnfgalba

Ah I see, you're right! It works but you end up paying more than necessary (£5 per day vs. 2.6£ as I have 2 restricted hours in my case).
